This is the sketch I've done for my Mermaid Poster Art entry for the Michigan Renaissance Festival. I have done completely in acrylic, burnt sienna (Windsor Newton). As this painting will be outdoors for the duration of the festival,and perhaps longer so I will be doing this one in Acrylic. At this point it looks a little more cartoonish. The rest of the overpainting should remedy this. 2'X4' Luan plywood primed and gessoed with Golden gesso and hard, sandable gesso. I will completely cover this with a waterproof sealer when finished.
